Abstract

Internet addiction represents a behavioral disturbance marked by an uncontrollable urge to access the internet, often to the extent that it disrupts daily routines and social interactions. The rapid expansion of internet access in Indonesia has made adolescents increasingly susceptible to problematic usage patterns, raising concerns about the long-term impact on their psychological and social well-being. This literature review aims to map out the underlying factors that contribute to the risk of Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) among Indonesian adolescents. Sources were identified using the keywords “Internet Addiction Disorder” and “Kecanduan Internet” on Google Scholar and Garuda. The analysis reveals that the risk of internet addiction in adolescents is shaped by a combination of internal and external influences. Internal factors include aspects such as self-control, self-regulation, academic stress, and self-esteem. Meanwhile, external factors involve parenting style, peer environment, prosocial behavior, and participation in religious activities. The presence of low self-control and poor self-regulation often correlates with a greater tendency toward excessive internet use, especially when accompanied by high academic pressure or a lack of supportive social structures. On the other hand, positive parenting, strong social bonds, and engagement in community or religious activities appear to provide a protective buffer. Understanding these interconnected factors is essential for developing targeted prevention and intervention strategies that address both personal vulnerabilities and environmental triggers. The insights from this review may assist educators, parents, and policymakers in fostering healthier digital habits among adolescents.

Abstract

This research investigates how the integration of educational videos created with Canva influences learning motivation among junior high school students in IPAS (Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial) classes. The study adopted a quasi-experimental approach, utilizing both pre-test and post-test within control and experimental groups. A total of 60 eighth-grade students from a public junior high school in Jakarta participated, evenly split between the two groups. Over a period of four weeks, students in the experimental group engaged with instructional materials delivered through Canva-based videos, while those in the control group continued with standard classroom methods. To assess learning motivation, a questionnaire grounded in Keller’s ARCS Model—covering Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction—was administered. The instrument comprised 25 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis involved both descriptive and inferential statistics, including paired and independent sample t-tests, as well as effect size calculations. Findings indicate a marked improvement in motivation scores among students exposed to Canva-based videos. Specifically, the independent sample t-test produced a value of t = 4.65 with p = 0.000, and Cohen’s d was calculated at 0.86, reflecting a substantial effect. These outcomes point to the potential of visually engaging and interactive video content to boost students’ motivation in IPAS learning environments. The results highlight the practical value of integrating accessible digital tools such as Canva into science and social science teaching, as a means to encourage greater enthusiasm and active participation among students.

Abstract

Abstract This research investigates the use of recycled materials as educational media designed to enrich early childhood learning experiences. The study aims to understand how these materials affect children’s participation, foster creativity, support cognitive growth, and build environmental awareness. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation at a local early childhood education center. Results indicate that learning activities involving recycled items promote higher levels of student engagement and help develop fine motor skills, while also nurturing an early sense of ecological responsibility. Teachers observed that children responded with greater enthusiasm when working with everyday items like bottle caps, newspapers, and cardboard. Integrating these materials into lessons not only encourages creative thinking but also introduces concepts of sustainability in a hands-on manner. Educators found this approach helpful for designing lessons that are both accessible and meaningful, inspiring children to use their imagination and care for the environment. While the findings point to recycled materials as valuable resources in early education, the study was conducted within a limited context and over a short period. Further research involving wider settings and longer observation is recommended to better understand the long-term effects. The insights gained here are relevant for educators seeking to incorporate sustainable practices and environmental values into early learning.
